Published: December 2019

Background And Aims: We aimed to summarize existing data on the effectiveness of vedolizumab in extra-intestinal manifestations [EIMs] in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD].

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed and the Cochrane Library, up to October 2018. Interventional and non-interventional studies as well as case-series studying vedolizumab and EIMs in adult patients with IBD were considered eligible.

Results: Three interventional studies [one randomized trial, n = 1032; and two open-label trials, n = 347], five non-interventional studies [n = 1496] and three case-series [n = 17] were included. Vedolizumab did not show any effectiveness in primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC]. While no effect was seen in pre-existing manifestations regarding arthralgia and arthritis, the occurrence of new rheumatic symptoms was lower among vedolizumab users compared to placebo; occurrence was higher, however, with vedolizumab than with tumour necrosis factor inhibitors. Finally, vedolizumab appears not to be efficacious for the treatment of cutaneous manifestations.

Conclusions: There is no strong evidence to suggest that vedolizumab may be efficacious for the treatment of pre-existing EIMs [especially PSC, rheumatic and cutaneous manifestations], although it may reduce the occurrence of new EIMs.

Achievement of duodenal ulcer remission by vedolizumab in children with eosinophilic gastroenteritis.

Clin J Gastroenterol

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are treated with corticosteroids and food allergen elimination. However, treatment for refractory cases is not standardized. We demonstrate the efficacy of vedolizumab, an anti-α4β7 integrin agent, in 2 children with duodenal ulcers developed by non-eosinophilic esophagitis EGIDs.

Purpose: The albumin to fibrinogen ratio (AFR), a biomarker associated with inflammatory, nutritional, and coagulation status, and the CALLY index, a biomarker combining C-reactive protein, albumin, and lymphocyte count, have been suggested to correlate with prognosis in a variety of diseases in previous studies; however, studies of these two markers in ulcerative colitis (UC) are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of AFR and CALLY index in UC.

Methods: The study included 109 UC patients and 126 healthy controls.

Background: Ulcerative colitis patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) without mucosectomy may develop inflammation of the rectal cuff (cuffitis). Treatment of cuffitis typically includes mesalamine suppositories or corticosteroids, but refractory cuffitis may necessitate advanced therapies or procedural interventions. This review aims to summarize the existing literature regarding treatments options for cuffitis.

Background/aims: The objectives of this real-world study were to determine 1-year persistence with vedolizumab in patients with ulcerative colitis and to evaluate factors contributing to loss of response.

Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational chart review, patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who received ≥ 1 dose of vedolizumab in clinical practice at 16 tertiary hospitals in Japan (from December 2018 through February 2020) were enrolled.

Results: Persistence with vedolizumab was 64.
